Peach cobbler is a popular dessert in the South. There are two ways to make it, one resembles a pie, with a pie crust on top. And another looks like a cake. This latter one is my favorite version. It is usually served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and that was the inspiration… Continue reading Peach Cobbler Soap
One of my favorite shows to watch, is the Great British Bake Off. Though it has been renamed to Great British Baking Show when it airs in America. As a rule, I do not like watching reality tv or competition shows. There is too much drama and backstabbing among the contestants. But this show (and… Continue reading Soap Bonsai
I bought this pineapple fragrance formulator a while back and wanted to test it before using it in a blend. It smells just like pineapple, or pineapple candy, and has stayed very strong in the soap after 6 weeks.

I wanted this soap to be… Continue reading Making a Wave Soap

Last December the soap making forum had an un-challenge for which the theme was fire. (It was an un-challenge because there would… Continue reading Fire Soap inspired in the Library Book
I was watching a documentary about a man who likes rock climbing and hiking, and used to go with a friend on these trips. When his friend passed away, he took his friend's son under his wing and brought him along for trips. (I would not climb a cliff even if you told me there… Continue reading The Grand Prismatic
My favorite character from the little prince book is the fox. I like foxes in general, a couple years ago I tried making a fox figurine. I was going to buy it, but the one that I liked the most was too pricey (for me) and I did not care for the antique look of… Continue reading The fox from The Little Prince Soap
For Valentine's this year, my husband got me this rose (among other things): rose covered with glass bowl I love it because it looks just like the rose from the Little Prince (he knows how much I like this book). This soap was inspired by it. I made it for the January monthly challenge of… Continue reading The Rose from the Little Prince
